Present Church

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or church:

    If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.
    Josiah Royce (1855–1916)

    The Church must be forever building, for it is forever decaying within and attacked from without....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
